Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Full Coverage Matte Foundation Benefits and More Review

For those makeup addicts, makeup collectors, makeup wearers or testers, do you not ever search for that perfect foundation that could last you hours, not cake, and make you look old? That is something as a makeup wearer and tester such as myself is always trying to discover that perfect foundation that minimizes the pores I have, does not flake, and blurs fine lines instead of emphasizing them.

A piece of history of Yves Saint Laurent is that it was discovered in the year 1961 as the first couture house of fashion. YSL had introduced the luxurious pret-a-porter in the year 1966. Their fashion collection in 1966 was called “Rive Gauche,” which means freedom and youthfulness. Now that is superb I would think. They do not only make makeup, but also fashion with women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, accessories like handbags, shoes, jewelry, small goods made of leather, scarves, eyewear, and even ties. Especially excellent news for you fashionistas or fashion fanatics out there.

Immediately, I had opened this beautiful black box that said Influenster on it and there was my lovely gift that I had earned. I could not wait to test it out and show all of you what it is all about. The Yves Saint Laurent 24-hour Foundation has so many quality benefits for your appearance and skin. It supposes to help with instantly blurring your pores, wrinkles, and fine lines while providing everlasting flawless appearance and elegance. Since it is a semi-permanent makeup, you would not need much of a touch-up.

The Yves Saint Laurent 24-hour Foundation has sunscreen with an SPF of 20. I had to see if this actually does work and stands by to what it said. I have combination skin, and this means I do relate to some ladies with oily skin and dry skin. I would have dry spots around my nose area and chin, and some parts of my chin would get a bit oily. The area that would get only the most would be my t-zone area, which is on my nose, the upper center of my nose and forehead. This should be a little miracle of a foundation.

Key here for combination and oily skin would be using a water-based primer underneath and water-based everything. Please stay away from silicone primers or just use ones with very low amount of silicone in it. Make sure that the silicone is at the end of the ingredients, which means that it has a low amount of silicone. If you would like to stick with just Yves Saint Laurent, I would advise the YSL All Hours Primer, which you can get here. I would stay with the YSL products because they are always higher quality.

My key reason would help you use this foundation and get better results and no aging appearance at all like you could get with a silicone based primer and this foundation.

Make sure you have washed your skin with a cleanser.

If you would like a much lighter coverage instead of a full thicker coverage, just use a penny sized amount of the product on all around your face. That means pump for the penny size shared on both cheeks, and share the other small size for your forehead and chin. I tried following the directions of using one drop, and it did not cover my face entirely.

If you would like a full coverage, I would layer it twice. I would do the pump twice for what you did for that lighter coverage.

The Yves Saint Laurent 24-hour Foundation would not cake, flake, fade, or dry up, which is a must for us ladies who would like to appear much younger and not older.

It instantly blurs and erases your imperfections, pores, dull, and uneven appearance, which it actually did.

This foundation has a sunscreen of SPF 20, which means you could skip your sunscreen routine with this one. If you like to add more sunscreen go with a water based one.

This foundation has the highest concentration of oil absorbing pigments, which are ultra fine and cover imperfections well.

It is anti-meltdown or meltdown-proof, and I tested that it does do that for 16 hours. It does that by combining the move-with-you foundation technology, giving you a flawless coverage.

The Yves Saint Laurent 24-hour Foundation felt very lightweight, even when I would double it for a fuller coverage.

Amazed that it also protects you from the heat, humidity, and it resists fading for a smooth no droopy sexy look all day long.

The Yves Saint Laurent 24-hour Foundation also has skin benefits, it is infused with black tea, which is an excellent antioxidant for your skin complexion and helps to fight the appearance of dullness, fatigue, and pollution.

It gives you a matte finish.
